Australians, I have a question for you.

What do you people think of a scouse accent?Now for me, I once listened to an Irish priest for ten minutes, and did not understand one word, I was praying he would not ask me a question - infact he probably did and still wonders why I didn't say anything.As for Americanos - they sound very "drama" like to me. Ever heard an American on a welsh hill? "JUZ LOOK AD THE MOUNANS".

I think I realized that. I just didn't want to leave anyone out.

of tv by all media and the continued collapse of media voices into fewer and fewer holding companies lead towards a lessening of accents?

Aslan is not a Tame Lion

All you furiners sound ahlike ta me!(I'm from Minnesota, my parents are from Oklahoma, and I lived in England for a year. You don't want to know what I sound like. I'm the Man Who's Always From Somewhere Else.)

I'm replying to multiple posts in one go here, so please excuse my not using the post-specific reply button. Honestly, I don't. I can't speak for any other Australians, but I'm so used to hearing it that it just doesn't register any more. I guess growing up with 90% of the television and movies you see being from America kind of numbs you to it. In fact, I personally find Australian movies to be an odd experience. It just doesn't seem right watching a movie where the actors talk like...well...me! Really? Well then, how you doing, babe? Uh sorry...How you doing, mate? I love the Irish accent. It's one of my favourites. But then, I am a little biased, being of largely Irish ancestry.Personally, I find few things funnier than listening to a non-Australian trying to do an Australian accent. Perhaps ours is just a tough one but I can honestly say that I've never heard a decent fake. In fact, what I hear is usually hilarious!An interesting point...Being around Aussie accents all the time, I obviously don't notice them in day to day life. But it becomes very apparent to me when I hear Australian actors, who I'm used to seeing in American roles, speaking "normally". It's then that I think, "Ack! That's what we sound like, to the rest of the world?" There's something I've wondered about, for a long time, but I've never thought to actually ask a Scot. Did Mel Gibson do a decent job on his accent, in Braveheart? Speaking as a non-Scot, I thought he emulated it very well, but then, I'm sure that some of the Aussie-impressionists I've heard think they could actually pass for an Australian.Anyway, I'm very interested to know what a Scottish person thinks about this.

Yeah, I've noticed. It's incredibly difficult to hold an exciting
conversation with my southern relatives because it takes them (practically)a few minutes to say something I could've said in seconds. Australians actually have a nice accent, though. But in all fairness I think the Western United States dialect is easily the silliest(next to the New Yorkers) so it's my favorite.
